The prototype - The E 41: Versatile workhorse

The class E 41 (from 1968: BR 141) was designed from the 1950s for local and regional transport and was soon also used in front of express and freight trains. With its characteristic shape, five headlights and vertical fan blades, it was a familiar sight on German main and branch lines for decades.

Model - Harmonious appearance, modern technology

The model has a metal chassis for optimum running characteristics and the body is made of finely engraved plastic. A powerful bell-shaped armature motor drives all axles. The lighting with warm white and red LEDs changes depending on the direction of travel. Details such as the rounded fans, the all-round rain gutter and the classic green paintwork make this E 41 a prototype of its era.
